Test 454: Do Links From Google Docs Help?

Google docs are a quick and easy way to get backlinks, whether they work or not is the question. They can be used in different easy ways, from stacking whole Google properties, embedding them, and stacking them on top of each other.

You also have control over the content on these pages and can make them as relevant as you want. We test if links from Google Docs help in boosting rank.

This one is. There's an SIA mastermind that Kelly had set up and got the members into. There's a bunch of them testing Google Docs and stuff and this is kind of timely because… Jo did this as well and you want to see if the Google Docs will push rankings across all these tests. You've never seen one of Jo's things. Essentially, blues are controls, yellows are test pages and the goal is to have yellow take up all the positions up here and beat all the controls and we could say ~ good. What he didn't see is that he ~ moving from everything.

So, it could be a couple things. He only let that set for two weeks. We talked about that, three weeks, the 30 days waiting for the link juice to come through. He only let ~ wait for two weeks so could pop up eventually. If ~ didn't stay, where he built any links to the Google Docs. So, 0 + 0 = 0. If you have a Google Doc that has no power, theoretically, why'd you expect it to work. Everyone's talking about doing Google Docs and Google stacks and stuff.

I would like to think that Google may have already done something where it doesn't pass juice right away, especially if it's not a popular blog.

So, those are some factors to go in there and look at that as well. If you're doing a whole bunch of Google Docs and you set them all up, right now, according to this test you're wasting your time.
